We tired this little girl out! We have had a VERY busy few days.
Plus, rainy days are ALWAYS meant for napping! :)

Visitors from Texas!
Quick update.
Bebe and Paul came in just for the weekend. It has been great! They had quite a few issues getting here, thanks to the airlines! But they did arrive at 10 pm on Friday night. Laila woke up a for a bit to say hi and we visited for a while, then off to bed. Saturday we went to breakfast at our favorite spot, the Grandview Grill. We ran over to Whole Foods to pick up some delicious produce to make Laila's food with and also some fixins' for dinner.
Laila made it a very long time without a nap and was happy, happy to be with Grandma and Grandpa Janish! We headed to Como Park for the afternoon. We had a delicious picnic and saw ALL the different animals. Laila loved the orangutans and the puffins!
We had an amazing dinner of steak and salmon that Paul grilled! We drank a few bottles of wine and talked for a long time. We had a lot to talk about since we are selling our half of the house to Steve's friend, Steve Bensen. They owned the house together and we are ready to move on with our lives. We are very excited to start looking for our own place and have some time with just our little family.
We arent quite sure of all the details yet, but I will keep you up to date as we know more!
Anyway, back to our weekend. Steve and Paul went to the Twins game and then we went to dinner at the Spaghetti Factory. Then the REALLY fun part! We went to Target and Laila got to pick out toys! She got some really fun ones. Now, we are tired and we are going to go to bed.
Good night all! :)

Baby's First Easter
Laila had a great first Easter. She got her very own Easter basket filled with all kinds of goodies. A puzzle, books, shirts, capris, sockies, and a few sunhats! The cutest thing as a little train that was made out of the letter of her name. It even has a little engine and caboose. How adorable!
There was a transportation theme to her basket with a book about cars, a car puzzle and her train. :) Very adorable.
I will post a pic of her Easter dress, (which every little girl MUST have!). It was overall a great day. We have had a pretty stressful week..more on that later. But everything has seemed to have calmed down and we maybe we have a solution to our housing issues. But, I don't really want to get into that right now.
I want to just revel in the happiness that we are feeling RIGHT NOW in the Janish house. And my, it feels wonderful. :)

Another month comes and goes...
I feel like time is just flying by. I wish I could make time stand still or at least slow to a crawl for a few months. Laila is getting too big right before our eyes and it is scary! It is strange to think about 1.5 years ago Laila didn't even exist and now she is close to a year old!
March was a good month for the Janish family. We had a lot of things happen. We learned that Laila enjoys the swimming pool after her first lessons with Daddy. We got Laila scheduled for her tubes on April 27th. We went out to Maryland to see Scott and Tanya. Making it the 6th state that Laila has been to in her 8 months lifespan!
She did great on the flight out there and did ok on the flight back. She would NOT go to sleep the whole time and then, of course, she fell asleep right as we landed. We were upgraded to first class on the return flight! So this little baby really has a head start on getting it all done. 2 big trips, 6 states and first class all before 1 year! Lucky little lady is what I say!
We spent a day in Annapolis and is was AMAZING weather. We had a great lunch and I found a delicious caramel apple for desert. Aside from that we just relaxed and hung out. Ate good food and laughed a lot with Scott and Tanya. I had a great time and I am so thankful for such amazing family.
One other big thing that happened in March is the daycare switch. Laila is now at an in home daycare with a woman named Pat Miller. She lives very close to us and has one other little girl in her care. Haley and Laila play all day long. Today Pat told me that they sat in front of each other and waved at each other for nearly 5 minutes. So cute! I almost think I want to leave my camera at Pat's so she can take pictures of the girls.
Laila is always so happy when I pick her up and Pat really seems to enjoy taking care of the girls. Plus, bonus for us, we don't have to get her ready in the morning. Pat says she is more than happy to dress her after her morning nap. Awesome! :)
So less money, less work for us and Laila is loving it! I am, so far, very pleased with our decision.
That is about it for the last month. Some big things going on this next month!
